Structural Steel Market Synopsis  

The structural steel market is projected to be worth USD 162.64 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030), The market was valued at USD 102.17 billion in 2021.

Increasing residential and non-residential construction activities, as well as rising demand for steel products as building materials, will drive industry growth. The global structural steel market is expected to grow sustainably in the coming years, owing to rising disposable income and technological advancements in prefabricated and pre-engineered building projects in the overall construction industry. High demand for infrastructure in emerging economies such as China and India is expected to drive structural steel market growth in the coming years. One of the trends in the construction industry that is expected to fuel demand for structural steel building designs over the forecast period is a greater emphasis on innovation in green construction materials. These materials are recyclable, eco-friendly, and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will help in Structural Steel Market Growth.

The demand for structural steel fell down in 2020 as a result of the government's lockdown and low demand from the construction industry. The import and export of structural steel has been hampered by the Coronavirus. China is the world's largest exporter of construction materials. Negative trends in China's economy are expected to reduce global imports and exports around the world. Since the corona outbreak, the demand for new construction materials has seen a massive negative shift. As a result, the global supply and demand for construction materials have come to a halt. Construction material manufacturing companies in China are the most affected by the virus outbreak, owing to the region's lockdown and lack of logistics. The major impediment to the global construction materials market is the issuance of home quarantine orders by respective governments, which has resulted in the cessation of construction material production. Reduced consumer demand and consumption have resulted in a reduction and slowing of construction material sales all over the world during the current fiscal year. As a result, the Structural Steel Market has suffered in 2020 and has reduced the Structural Steel Market Share.

The report covers the major players operating in the structural steel fabrication market in India and is adding to the Structural Steel Market Share. Urbanization and construction generate strong demand for steel long products such as bars and sections, while the growth of the manufacturing industry generates demand for flat products such as hot and cold rolled coil and stainless steel, which is likely to boost structural steel market share.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

The significant increase in residential and non-building construction across the globe, as well as the use of structural steel in the construction of these buildings, is regarded as the primary driver of the structural steel market. The expansion of the manufacturing industries generates demand for flat products such as stainless steel, which can act as a driver for the structural steel market. Because structural steel is recyclable, the growing demand for green building construction is driving up the market for structural steel. Furthermore, rising construction activity and infrastructure development in countries such as India and China have the potential to significantly expand the structural steel market. The government initiative to improve housing conditions in various countries has increased demand for structural steel in the construction industries. Large facades, walls, and other materials are made of structural steel and help in driving the Structural Steel Industry.

Restraints

In the construction industry, a lack of awareness about the benefits of these structural steels can restrain market growth. The fluctuating raw material cost is the most important factor which restrains the Structural Steel Market Growth. Thus, it leads to decreased Structural Steel Market Value.

Technology Analysis

The demand for high-quality construction materials in a variety of residential and non-residential buildings, such as offices, institutions, and commercial buildings, has driven up the global structural steel market. Furthermore, structural steel has numerous applications in industries such as construction, transportation, mining, shipbuilding, packaging, and others. It is used in the construction of large structures such as bridges, canals, warehouses, and factories. Structural steel is used to make beams, steel frames, columns, and bars, which are used in the construction of large structures. Furthermore, structural steel is used in the construction of trucks, trains, rail tracks, and ships due to its high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and ductility. It is inexpensive and can be recycled in the future and increases the Structural Steel Market Size over the forecast period.
